I've been using this for the past few months since I got it and worked just fine up until these past few weeks. I would plug it in and it would turn on, but unplugging it and plugging it back in and it still doesn't work. I rebooted my pc and it's still a black screen. The orange light is still on and usually turns off when I put it on which I think means it's detecting me, but I could sit there for a few minutes and it still doesn't turn on. I tried getting up and moving around the controllers and nothing. I know cpu isn't the most optimal for VR. I'm usually fine even with this horrible cpu. I'm planning to upgrade it soon.
I'm having the same problem tonight. The sensors say they are connected in Oculus program under Devices, but they have no light on. The headset has an orange light and has sound coming from it, but the screen will not turn on.
I finally got mine to work after unplugging it from the HDMI port on the back of my GPU AND also the USB port and plugging them back in, then restarting the headset in Oculus software. I previously tried restarting the Oculus Runtime Service and restarting my computer and nothing worked.
I got the latest USB drivers for my motherboard already so it's not that. Not sure what it is though, but it's happening again today. My previous fix isn't working now. Restarting the Oculus Runtime Service isn't helping and yesterday when it happened restarting my computer didn't help so I haven't tried that now.
So, I got it to work again. This time I had to swap USB ports with another cable in order to finally get it wake up all the sensors and have video on the HMD again. Unplugging it and putting it back into the same USB port wasn't doing it. Had to change USB ports this time. So strange.
I'm having the same issue. Almost every time I put in on I need to unplug it and re-plug it back in due to no video, but I always hear the home "music". For the first time I put it on tonight and it isn't detecting me at all. The orange light is there but no video or sound, I even unplugged and re-plugged but still nothing. This is a brand new computer with more than enough power to run VR, but tonight I'm having a real issue.
